Smelting bars together gains you no net value, as you use a value 30 and value 10 material to produce two units of value 20, but smelting the ore direct to two bars saves you a unit of [[fuel]] if you don't have access to [[magma]]. Moreover, low-value [[galena]] or [[tetrahedrite]] ore can be substituted for native or horn silver, producing more value overall than would be generated from smelting the ores separately.</div>
